Just a wild suggestion.....measure your RV width and height rather than asking a random group of folks if it will fit.
(But if it doesn't fit then you have the only motorhome that is over 10' wide and you're not legal to drive it without a wide load permit....it will fit in a 10x14 hole)

Down this all the time, with about 2" to spare on each side.



Yeah, that's what our driveway looked like - we added onto our 12'-sidewall polebarn, but had to dig a "basement addition" to get enough height for the door

I think that I would pull in nose first. It's easier to back into daylight than a black hole. It would also minimize exhaust fumes.


I didn't have the luxury of "space" on both sides of the MH, so I parked REALLY close on the driver's side and exited through the passenger-side access door. Easy to do on an RV....LOL! It was not an ideal parking situation - however, I had indoor enclosed parking ๐Ÿ˜‰ Something that kept our Class C looking like new even 10 years later.

I used to BACK our 28' Class C (widebody) through a 10' door all the time (and the driveway was downhill and twisty). I would back up until the mirrors almost touched the door frame; then I'd fold them in. Once clear of the door frame, I'd open the driver's side mirror again, and finish backing in. Yes, it's hard to see inside the building compared to the bright outdoors light, so I added reflectors on the driver's side polebarn posts at the right height to be illuminated by the taillights. You just need to be patient is all.

I agree the RV is 8 1/2 foot wide save for the mirrors might go out to 9 or a bit more. Should be no problem with a 10 foot wide door.. BUT HEIGHT... That's the issue

True story: The Michigan state police give a Trooper a Safe Driving award if he goes long enough without denting anything.. I was reading the news on the award.
The contestant While exiting the Headquarters Garage. Did strike the HEADER of the door And POOF went his award eligibility for another 4 years. (paraphrased).

We figured out how he did it.. Can you guess? (and no he did not pull a wheelie).
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Back up until it sounds expensive. Go slow and good luck. Must be nice to have an indoor space. Enjoy it.

Yes it will. I do it 30 times a year.. It's tight. Hard part of going in a building is its like a black hole until your mirrors are in. I have under an inch on each side with the weather stripping

Go slow
